[Constitution] At least one or more dedicated thin dry batteries or rechargeable batteries are provided in the tape cassette in a space in which a battery can be attached and detached, and the battery is mounted in the space, and a battery terminal provided in the cassette tape player body Via, to supply power to the cassette tape player body and charge the rechargeable battery.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a tape cassette for realizing a new power supply system for a portable cassette player, and more particularly to a tape cassette, a battery and a battery terminal for realizing the present invention.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in the power supply system of a portable cassette player, power is obtained from a battery mounted in the cassette player body or an attached battery box when carrying.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the prior art, when the tape cassette is carried, power is obtained from the battery mounted in the main body of the cassette player or the attached battery box. Therefore, when the tape cassette is regenerated one after another, the battery runs out.

In addition, when a portable cassette player is downsized, a space for a battery to be mounted in the main body is required, which makes it difficult to downsize the portable cassette player.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a battery-incorporated tape according to the present invention to a conventional portable cassette player power supply system. By using the power supply system realized by the cassette, the continuous playback time can be extended and the dead battery can be reduced as much as possible. Moreover, the portable cassette player can be realized with the new power supply realized by the battery-equipped tape cassette according to the present invention. It intends to provide a means for downsizing a portable cassette player by using the method alone.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a tape having the same size as the existing tape cassette, and at least one or more, provided with a space in which a dedicated thin dry battery or a rechargeable battery can be attached and detached. A cassette, a dedicated thin dry battery that can be installed in a space, or a dedicated thin rechargeable battery with a recess or small protrusion for identifying that it is rechargeable, provided on the cassette tape player body The tape cassette side consists of a battery terminal for supplying power to the cassette tape player and charging the rechargeable battery, and a rechargeable battery identification switch.

[0006]

[Action]

 By using the tape cassette according to the present invention, even if the tape cassettes are used one after another, each tape cassette can have a built-in battery, so that the continuous use time of the portable cassette player can be improved. It is possible to extend it significantly.

In addition, when the conventional tape cassette and the tape cassette according to the present invention are used together, when the tape cassette according to the present invention is used, the battery incorporated in the tape cassette according to the present invention is used, so that it is portable. Since the battery consumption of the cassette player itself can be reduced, it is possible to extend the continuous use time of the portable cassette player.

Further, by using only the tape cassette according to the present invention, even if the tape cassettes are used one after another, each tape cassette can have a built-in battery. Since no battery is required, the size of the portable cassette player body can be reduced accordingly.

[0009]

【Example】

 Embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. 1A is a tape cassette conforming to the current standard, but a space A for inserting a dedicated battery or a dry battery is provided under the cassette half.

FIGS. 4 and 5B show a storage battery or a dry battery having a size that can be exactly accommodated in the space B. The positive electrode C and the negative electrode D and E are provided at the bottom of the storage battery and dry battery. The battery is provided with a small protrusion B for battery identification, and the dry battery is not provided with this small protrusion.

The B storage battery or the dry battery is inserted into the space a. As a result, the tape cassette A and the battery B are integrated as shown in FIG.

Although the cassette housing is shown in FIG. 8, a positive electrode and a negative electrode are provided at the bottom of the bottom, and a micro switch for identifying the storage battery is provided at the center of the bottom. At that time, as shown in FIG. 10, the positions of the + and-electrodes of the battery B and the + and-electrodes of the cassette housing are made to coincide with each other. In the case of a storage battery, the small protrusion for identifying the storage battery and the position of the micro switch for identifying the storage battery on the cassette housing should be aligned.

By inserting the tape cassette A and the battery B, which are integrated as shown in FIG. 6, into the cassette housing, the electrode on the battery side and the electrode on the cassette housing side are connected, so that the battery B is carried from the battery B. Supply power to the cassette player body. When the battery B is a storage battery, an AC power adapter is connected to the portable cassette player, and the portable cassette player body supplies the battery B with charging power.

In the case of a storage battery, a small protrusion for identifying the storage battery pushes a micro switch for identifying the storage battery on the cassette housing to identify that the battery is in a chargeable state.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

By combining the tape cassette according to claim 1, the battery according to claim 2, and the dedicated battery terminal according to claim 3, when the conventional tape cassette and the tape cassette according to the present invention are used together, a portable cassette It is possible to extend the continuous use time of the player.

Further, by using only the tape cassette according to the present invention, the battery of the portable cassette player main body is not required, so that the portable cassette player main body can be downsized accordingly.

When the battery according to claim 2 or the rechargeable battery is used together, the identification small protrusion according to claim 2 is provided for preventing incorrect charging of a dry battery with an incorrect charging provided in a battery terminal. The corresponding switch for identifying the rechargeable battery in claim 3 can prevent accidents due to incorrect charging.

Since the tape cassette according to the first aspect has the same appearance as the existing tape cassette, the compatibility with the existing tape cassette can be maintained.
